"SNIP............

“Donald Trump’s mouth and keyboard fingers have been relatively disciplined — by his own standards, at least — since he racked up the 10th gag-order violation of his Manhattan criminal trial last week,” the Washington Post reports.

“Facing the threat of jail, he’s generally avoided three verboten subjects that have gotten him in trouble before. Those would be attacking the jury, attacking the witnesses and attacking the judge’s family.”

“But even as Trump has refrained, surrogates have helpfully stepped forward to offer a timely and convenient service: lodging those same attacks, while appearing at the trial in support of him.”

.......SNIP"

Applegrove:

So these surrogates are pantomiming that they are with Trump by showing up in court to support him and then, on that day, breaking the Gag order outside of court. How is this not breaking the Gag order?

Hair Furor signaled to Jeanine Pirro and they had a brief, whispered conversation. Shortly after that, he told his drones to watch Sean Hannity that night to see her and she said things that would've gotten him in huge trouble if he'd said them: Pirro attacked both Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen.
